4th IR: OOC Thread

[hemel]

Hey people,..... Timothy told me to check this out, he also asked me to join, so i'm looking for an opening,... i you will have me that is.

he more or less explained what this is about,.... original approach to dnd, I must say.

My experiance with D&D is 6 years of playing, 4 of them as DM.

(never knew books could make such a mess,..... I'll never trust my schoolbooks again)

I'm kind of confused about the claiming of powers, i hope someone can give me some clarity about that,....

anyway, i hope i can play, and i'm looking forwrd to hear from you.

bye!

 

[Timothy]

Well, Edena, you asked for more People, so I've asked one to join.

I will help him to get into the game a bit. But Mayb e the others could give him some advice, as your experience is greater than mine. I have explained about the books and about the portals to other worlds and said he should read the whole IC thread

I have advised him to try and claim Kara Tur. I belive that there are some books on that continent, but do not know which, does anybody know that?

Any way, Welcome Hemel to the wonderfould world of the IR

 

[Janos Audron]

Hemel, what exactely confuses you? If you are specific it's far easier to explain something.

Hope you're gonna enjoy the IR

Hey Janos you know your shades are not excavating right.. they will have to wait till all these crises are resolved

 

[Janos Audron]

Yeah, I've read that post. I thought I had posted that there was no excavation...(or at least implied)

 

[hemel]

more specific?, ok I'll try.

first of all,..... what do the books do?, are they the territory?,... or just something that you have, or don't have.

second, characters,... they do nothing,..... weel ok, given the greatness of the whole its understanding, but still something I'll need to get used too.

third, people pick powers just like that, so you can just pick one you want or do you have to be an elf to pick an alves territory?

fourth, the earth element,.... while cool, concernes me,..... rifles just are not my thing in a fantasy world,.... and if the industrial revolution goes on, I hate to see a hard gotten dragon getting blown out of the sky by a crude missle launcher or something smimilar.

was I specific enough?

You write the books. What effect they have is Edena's call. The effect depends, of course, on the book, and most of the time the effect is quite reasonable for the book you've written.


second, characters,... they do nothing,..... weel ok, given the greatness of the whole its understanding, but still something I'll need to get used too.


Your character can do stuff. Mostly though, they're used for diplomacy or for a very special action (sending your character means you are doing something yourself, instead of sitting back and ruling a country.)


third, people pick powers just like that, so you can just pick one you want or do you have to be an elf to pick an alves territory?


Yep. Now you can pick the powers you want. Nations, peoples and religions are all for the taking now. And if you want to be an Elf, you have a problem since most of the Elf lands have already been taken.


fourth, the earth element,.... while cool, concernes me,..... rifles just are not my thing in a fantasy world,.... and if the industrial revolution goes on, I hate to see a hard gotten dragon getting blown out of the sky by a crude missle launcher or something smimilar.


It's an IR. Industrial Revolution. Technology is gonna play a big role for most weak races like dwarfs gnomes and halflings (). Dragons, of course, are gonna get upgraded too. Maybe the technological way, that they have anti missile defenses, or magical, that they cast Ghorus Toth's Metal Melt on incoming missiles. Which route to go is entirely up to you...


was I specific enough?

Guess so

 

[hemel]

that helped out, thank you

ok, so now that i know all that, I will (provided I won't forget what he said) claim kara-tur (they said it was the last one free, or one of the last ones, no more, because i want to start small.

i was told it was oriental, so DM fill me in please, what can i expect there, or is it up to me what goes on there, and what lives there?.

Hemel, go to the link in my sig and look for what I have on Kara Tur in that link. Edena will determine what is in Kara Tur.

I look forward to reading your posts.

Nice map, Serpenteye. Thanks for your efforts. (I may e-mail you about how to work with such a map. I am working on a few maps for my own homebrew campaign.)

Creamsteak, is there any chance you could get it posted here at EN World or elsewhere. The load time is pretty long.
